This will help you avoid impulse purchases and ensure that you're investing in pieces that you truly love and will wear for seasons to come, lowering their cost per wear.

25 Outfit Ideas With Staple Pieces From Madewell’s Spring Collection
Classic White Shirt
Is there anything more classic than a clean white button-down shirt? We don’t think so! If you’re refreshing your spring wardrobe, there is one of the most versatile pieces that we have in our entire yearly wardrobe. It can be dressed up or down, work to work or to the farmer’s market. On top of that, it’s an effortless basic that has endless possibilities and an item that will never go out of style.
A simple white shirt and a pair of staple jeans? There might not be an easier outfit pairing. Plus, styling your favorite leather accessories is an effortless way to upgrade a casual look.
A white shirt can also be used as appropriate office attire when matched with trousers. But with the addition of this black tank, you can make it casual, too, when you’re ready to unwind.
Yes, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. Flared jeans are coming back into style and a pair like this is almost too easy to style.
Why not take the same look and layer on a blazer? If you are working from home, this can be a business-on-top, comfort-on-the-bottom video call look. Or, it’s just as fitting for an afternoon with friends or running errands.
Black and white is another staple combination in any wardrobe and each one of these pieces can be styled hundreds of different ways!
The Best Fitting Denim…Ever
There’s many reasons that we love Madewell, but there’s one reason that rises above the rest: their quality denim. If you struggle with finding the perfect fit from other brands and retailers, the vast array of sizes, lengths, rises, and fits that Madewell offers will be one of the best places to look for your next pair. Not only that, but Madewell offers a denim recycling program to save on a new pair. Simply bring in a pre-loved pair of jeans and they will repurpose the denim into housing insulation through Cotton’s Blue Jeans Go Green™ program and you get $20 to spend in store. Umm…yes, please!

A chambray shirt is the first step if you’re not quite ready to style a full denim-on-denim look. The lightweight shirt has more structure than a traditional button-down, but can easily be worn with a variety of clothes that are already in your closet.
Madewell denim is truly timeless. If you are hesitant to try a new style of jeans because you don’t know if they’ll fit you well, Madewell is the store you need to go to.

Jeans don’t get to have all the fun. The denim maxi (and mini) skirt is making a comeback in this year’s fashion, so why not find a structured denim that is flattering and trendy at the same time?
When it comes to spring weather, layering is key. A plain tee and your favorite jeans is a tried-and-true combo, but while the mornings are still cool (or the weather is unpredictable), layer a cozy cardigan or sweater on top. If the day gets sunny and warm, just take it off!

For those ready to step into the true denim-on-denim look, you can’t go wrong with a great denim jacket. Not only is it a versatile layer for any time of year, but it’s another staple that you’ll reach for for years to come.
Trousers, Trousers, Trousers
Much like the blazer, trousers have been making a resurgence in popularity. Gone are the days of only wearing these pants to work, they can now be just as easily styled for casual outings with friends as for the office. And, much like their denim, Madewell offers a multitude of colors, sizes, and styles to find the perfect fitting pant for you. Oh, and did we mention the spring colors?
Another staple, a pair of trousers can be worn to work with the addition of a sweater and heels. Don’t forget a tote to carry all of the necessities!

For a work-to-happy-hour look, we love the ease of a tank and trousers. For a business casual outfit idea, layer a blazer, jacket, or lightweight cardigan to cover your shoulders.

Spring is the perfect season to start adding pops of color into your wardrobe. How perfect is this pair of green trousers? Spring has sprung!

Another business casual look, a blazer paired with a tee and trousers is a go-to winning combination. But, if you want to take the look to brunch with friends, just take off the jacket for a put together, yet relaxed outfit idea.
Contrast a light pair of trousers with a dark top, while keeping the accessories minimal. It’s that easy!
White Jeans
Okay, we know that this might not be everyone’s first pick, but there’s no better time of year than spring (okay, maybe summer) to style a pair of white jeans. If you don’t think that these pants are for you, try switching out your tried-and-true blue denim style for white and see how you feel. The best part about white is that it is light, bright, and airy—the ideal combination for spring. Plus, white jeans are often a way to elevate an outfit where other shades of denim just aren’t appropriate or might be seen as too casual. And, if your office has a more laidback policy surrounding work attire, you might even be able to wear these to work!

Nautical, but make it trendy. Another classic pairing with white jeans!
Dresses
Whether you are looking for something casual or something a bit more upscale, Madewell’s spring line has some great dresses that are versatile and ideal for the upcoming months. Many of these styles can be worn in the same way as the trousers—dressed down for a casual afternoon or dressed up for a business casual look or date night. We love a dress that we can wear in so many different ways!

This dress is light and airy for spring, while the ruched waistband creates the ideal, flattering fit for any body type. Keep it casual with flats or dress it up and wear heels.
A chic outfit that calls out for a trip to the local farmers market, we love the delicate styling of the front buttons and dainty polka dots.
